Re: Andromeda Strain

Another movie ruined. Actually it was like a four hour political statement with some pseudo-science mixed in. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I should have known it would suck I watched Plasterhead afterwards and it was infinitely more enjoyable even though it sucked too. At least it wasn't full of half baked politics thinly veiled with horror.

Re: Andromeda Strain

The original version of the book was excellent and very scary and so was the original version of the flick. This special-effects infused version was lacking on detail and substance which made the first one great. Forced myself to watch the first half and never went back for seconds.

Re: Andromeda Strain

maven and i watched this piece of garbage, it was nothing like the original movie.yes, it had great special effects, but it was just terrible as a film, and its so disappointing compared to his novels as usual.

You said it all, baby. My suggestion? Read the book then watch the original film. It doesn't have all the fancy trappings, but that just makes it all the better. This latest version bored me to tears...nah. I didn't care enough to cry.
